I don't think I'd played a Cleric before -- definitely not in 5E -- and I didn't mind the idea of being a little bit of a healbot.I went with 16 WIS (obviously), 14 CON (for the not-dying), and 14 CHA. I envisioned the character as a negotiator type, and had the idea I might try to proselytize to an NPC from time to time.I also intended to pick spells around three basic functions: heals and buffs, attack, and general utility. So at level 3 I ended up with:Light, Resistance, Sacred Flame (sometimes Guidance)Bless, Cure Wounds, Guiding Bolt, Shield of Faith (sometimes Healing Word)Lesser Restoration, Spiritual WeaponI put my lowest stat in DEX, figuring I'd mostly use spells for ranged attacks. For melee I had a standard mace.All in all, it was fun. Medium armor plus shield saved from a lot of hits. The Life Cleric's bonus to healing spells, plus Channel Divinity, meant I could get a downed buddy back into the fight. And I enjoyed being able to hand out some help on attacks and saves. I wish the campaign hadn't folded so quickly.</blockquote>
